Description

AD-net’s PoE type Fiber Media Converters are PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) type Fiber Converters and PoE injectors in the same device. While you use standard UTP Cat5/6 Eethernet cables to carry data only, now you can also provide power to PDs (Powered Devices) that support the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard (15.4W of power) or the IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standard (30W of power), such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, or Wifi routers that accept POoE power as a PD device.

PoE media converter supports autosensing (auto negotiation), meaning that you can connect any of 10/100/1000M devices directly to the ethernet port and it will automatically adapt speed. However, when older legacy 10M equipment does not link correctly, we have provided a feature that enables you to force down the speed down to 10M using a dip switch on the back panel.

Media Converters are transparent to VLAN tagged packets, jumbo frames and full and half duplex operation are supported, and since it comes with the power supply in set, you are getting a plug-and-play device.

Convert and Extend Signals within your Ethernet Network

Media converters are simple devices used to connect two devices or LANs that are not entirely relatable, due to different speeds, operation types, modes or media types (twisted pair, fiber, coax). They are most commonly used to insert fiber segments into copper networks. Media converters also:

• Extend your Ethernet network beyond the 100-meter limit imposed by copper cable
• Integrate new technology with existing equipment to support new applications and technologies and future growth
• Extend the productive life of your existing cabling as well as the active equipment without costly, across-the-board upgrades

Media Converters Benefits

• Extend LAN Distances by Using Fiber
  Copper-based Ethernet connections are limited to a data transmission distance of only 100 meters when using UTP cable. By using an Ethernet to fiber conversion, fiber optic cabling can now be used to extend this link over a greater distance of up to 80 km.
• Maintain Investments in Existing Equipment
  Migrate a local network to fiber while protecting your investment in existing copper-based hardware and maintaining the existing infrastructure.
• Protect Data from Interference
  Electromagnetic interference or EMI can cause corruption of data over copper-based Ethernet links. Data transmitted over fiber optic cable however is completely immune to this type of noise, ensuring optimal data transmission.
• Speeds Conversion
  Convert link speeds from 10Mbps to 100Mbps or from 100Mbps to 1000Mbps.
• Reliable Data Transmission
  Considering the fact that a media converter is essentially two transceivers passing data back and forth to each other, it gives you stronger access and a smaller chance of losing any connection.

Media Converters Features

SEAMLESS CONVERSION OF COPPER TO FIBER

Connect 10/100/1000/10G Ethernet to fiber segments without using crossover cables.

AUTOSENSING PORTS

Allows media converters to automatically recognize the current local network's speed and adjust its own setting accordingly.

SFP PORTS

Enables you to use a Small Form-factor Pluggable transceiver (SFP), either multimode or single-mode, to link the media converter to many kinds of fiber cable.

AUTO MDI/MDI-X

Enables the device port to automatically detect the cable type (straight-through or cross-wired).

STANDALONE OR CHASSIS-BASED

Standalone media converters are deployed to convert one copper connection to fiber, whereas chassis-based media converters can be installed in a variety of configurations for enterprise-wide deployment.

802.3AF POE / 802.3AT POE+ SUPPORT

Power compatible PoE or PoE+ devices like access points, cameras and similar devices in areas without nearby power outlets via copper wiring.

Industry Applications

USE CASES

Enterprise LAN Extension

Extend LAN reach beyond the 100-meter limit of copper CATx cabling by converting links to fiber. Fiber links enable link distances of up to 80 km.

Security & Surveillance - IP Camera Backhaul

POE simplifies installation of IP security cameras by eliminating the need for a power circuit near the installed device. POE media converters power these devices and backhaul signals to remote data centers or operations centers.

Enterprise - Wireless Access Point Backhaul

POE media converters backhaul WiFi data and power access points.

Government & Defense - FIBER to the Desk

With an existing data rate in the LAN backbone at 100Mbps or Gigabit speeds, fiber can accommodate high-bandwidth applications such as streaming media and voice over IP for more secure desktop connections.

FIber Mode Conversion

Convert fiber links from multimode to single-mode, and vice versa.
